FWIW. This is the whole point of Core Range Algebra and Attributed Range 
Algebra... to provide a formal basis from which any arbitrary syntax can be 
used to derive (at some point in time) a particular data model. LMNL has a 
degree of this built into it, and Patricks JITT stuff is down the same path 
too. 

I think people are starting to realize that sometimes syntax matters, 
sometimes the "information", and that at the end of the day, processing 
either or both requires "edge transformations" from one world view to 
another.
